Video: Qt QML Components running on BlackBerry PlayBook
w00teh1 has a neat video showing some Nokia N9′s Qt QML components on the BlackBerry PlayBook (another very gesture optimised device). You could think of it as possibly parts of N9 in tablet form.

Nokia N900 seen in Seeking Justice (oh no, Nicky Cage :()
The Nokia N900 was apparently sighted in a move called ‘Seeking Justice’ or ‘Justice’ as it’s now known. I’ve had to slightly pixelate what’s on the screen but you can guess what it said. It’s a shame it’s a Nicky Cage movie. That poor man seems to be a stamp of a bad movie (saving [...]
#N9Hacks: Zoom While Recording Video (Terminal)
I was reading Ali’s excellent post on his experience with the Lumia 800 (which I agree about entirely) and remembered I haven’t shown you the first hack I placed on my N9. This hack allows you to zoom in and out while recording video. I found it quite annoying to have choose a distance and [...]

#N9Hacks: Alphanumeric Keyboard for Nokia N9?
Nokia’s decision to put an alphanumeric keyboard onto their Symbian touch phones wasn’t such a bad one. It’s just that it should have been an option (as well as needing to be multitouch) with a decent QWERTY that worked. Anyway, the N9 keyboard is indeed awesome. The only thing I find it lacking in perhaps [...]
